I decided yesterday that there's no way I can continue this fast through my Friday and Saturday workdays and knowing that I'm not going to make it the 11 days kind of blew the whole thing...besides that I hadn't slept and felt awful (I am no good at all with no sleep) I fell asleep ridiculously early, woke up at 3:30 a.m. with enough hours of sleep under my belt but still feeling very light headed and funky. I had gone to sleep thinking about miso broth and woke up with the same thought. (Haven't even come close to NOT obsessing about food) Then I thought, maybe I'm craving salt. So, at 3:30 this morning I had a cup of broth. Went back to sleep. Still feeling funky but that also happens when I know I have a day off and can rest. Which is what I need to do.
Still weigh 141.
5 days of fasting is nothing to sneeze at. I'd be over the top impressed with myself if I got through 1 day possibly 2 but I rather doubt even one day would happen. So, you're way ahead of the curve. Stop obsessing about the numbers (weight). Where and how body fat gets distributed will change. It isn't fair that fat does not weigh near as much as muscle so you can weigh the same for a seemingly long time even though you're losing fat and gaining muscle. Your end result will be perfection so do what makes you feel the best!
